2002 FRC Season – Zone Zeal

Team 254 had a great 2002 season with our robot Ecko. After removing the ball manipulator to focus on goal control, we won our home regional (Silicon Valley Regional) and the Calgames offseason event.

Zone Zeal – The Challenge

Zone Zeal was the 2002 game for the FIRST Robotics Competition. In it, robots playing in alliances of 2 competed to move goals and balls into various zones within the playing field. Goals were worth more points if they had more balls in them and the points for the goals were awarded to either alliance depending on the zone which the goal was in at the ed of the match. Bonus points at the end of the match were awarded to robots who were in their home zones. More Information can be found on Wikipedia.
